Hi, I’m Hope and I am the main voice of this blog which is all about the unending journey my husband Michael and I are on as we work to lean up our lives. We’ve recently decided that there has to be a better way to enjoy each other and every day.
If you’ve got way too much going on and are trying to figure out how to lessen the number of plates you are spinning, you are in the right place.
We are your typical couple that started out our marriage with a ‘bring it on’ attitude. Nothing scares Michael and I am his biggest cheerleader, so we thought we could take on the world. Sound familiar? Add to that children, moves and lots of changes…It’s easy to get overloaded without realizing it when you want to do your best.
It’s just too easy to neglect ourselves and accept shortcuts or conveniences that end up consuming us. The choices we make on the daily affect everything from our walk with the Lord, our relationships with each other and family, to our health and overall joy.

Our mission now is to lean up our lives by downsizing and simplifying the way we live and earn a living. The world has changed A LOT in recent years. We embrace the traditions of the past in our homestead while digging into the technology that makes it possible to connect with others and earn a living in the process. It’s a journey and we want to enjoy and share it.
So, grab our favorite hot beverage, have a seat and let’s talk about all the things…
Blessings,
Hope
